7:30- Use internal clock and get up with sun. Get ready in 10 minutes and eat long breakfast. Decide metro is far to easy, so we opt to urban hike Paris instead. 9:00- Race elevator up Eiffel Tower. Beat it no problem. 12:00- Start hike to Louvre. We would have swam the Seine, if we still had our swimsuits. 13:00- Re-fuel bodies with salmon sandwiches (or panini, or bocadillo, depending on your roots). 14:30- Battle tourists to get glimpse of Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa, only leaving a few casualties. 15:30- Prefer looking at French statues... in the unpopular area of the Louvre. Reuse the "I spot titties!" joke we heard earlier from a fat American passing a topless beach on the Riviera. 17:00- Urban hiked to Notre Dame to please grandmothers. Said a ... read more

We've been getting trained on booking our schedule because some of the team will help to book the concert schedule for the next year. Our tenative schedule will include the following countries: Estonia Latvia Lithuania Poland Slovakia Czech Rep.

The concert consists of two hours with one hour of live singing, dancing, and a media show. Then preaching of the gospel and an alter call with praying. In some cities we may also do school visits before the concert to invite youth to the concert and tell them about ... read more

well, so far valencia is my favourite city in spain!! (although, that's not hard coz it only has to beat barcelona - sorry barcelona and your fans!!) i've had a really nice few days here. yesterday was fantastic. we went on a bit of a trek out of town to factory warehouses ans had a major shopping day - very unusual for me but i loved it. i bought 5 tops and a skirt for 45 euros!! i was so impressed with my bargain hunting. it was a very long and tiring day though - so many shops. today was lovely as well. i just wandered around this beautiful, clean, tidy city. the city used to have a river running through it but it kept on flooding so they decided to redirect it in the 50s ... read more

Hello hello I am presently in Slovenia at the moment, in the capital city of Ljubljana. What a gem of a city, it has no big attractions but the atmosphere is the best that i have experienced yet. It's a city that has a large italian and german influence. We are only 100 miles from italy at the moment. We got here two days ago and before that we spent 4 nights in lake Bled up in the Alps. We met some very funny welshmen there who were obsessed with eating horse, its a slovenian delicacy. Spent most of our time doing as little as possible in the sun by the lake. Went canyoning which was awesome. You put a wetsuit and helmet on and go jumping, absailing and ziplining down this canyon. Got a bit ... read more
